Co-Founder, Chief Technology Officer at Petnet - Los Angeles, California, United States
We want to welcome you to the future of intelligent pet care. Petnet has created the world's first SmartFeeder. It is an elegant hardware device that will program itself around your life and the wellness of your precious pet.With the help of sophisticated sensors, your web-enabled smartphone and the processing power of a computer, SmartFeeder learns how much and when you feed your pet. In about a week, it gets adjusted to your schedule and keeps you in tune to your pet's eating regimen. Why we built SmartFeeder?Most pet parents don't think about what and how much they feed their pets and the long lasting effect it can have on their health. The fact is, the majority of today's pet food is either wasted or over consumed by our pets which is why we have seen a staggering increase in pet obesity the last several years. According to one study, An Estimated 54% of Dogs and Cats in the United States are Overweight or Obese directly due to overeating and the way we feed our pets.Pet parents do not currently have the convenience of being able to consistently monitor their pets eating habits. What if a pet feeder could program itself around your life and the wellness of your pet, not the other way around? This is exactly what SmartFeeder does. It learns how much and when you feed your pet and guides you towards a more healthy eating regimen.
